Summary: Promising Specs, Decent Sound, Disgusting Craftsmanship
Review: I bought these as a replacement for my aging Koss R/100's(by far the best headphones I've ever owned).

When I took these out of the box, the first thing i noticed was that they looked to be very cheaply made. The entire headband is one thin piece of plastic, no padding at all. The earcups are padded in plain foam covered with thin cloth. After about 1 month of use, I picked them up one day and the headband had broken where the height adjuster is located.

I tried them on and played some rock, metal, and rap. The sound was good, but wasnt anything special. I have some tracks that go above 20khz, and below 20hz, and I don't believe i heard any sound outside of that range. Their 10hz-25khz rating is a bit optimistic, especially for a $30 pair of headphones.

If you baby them, these are decent sounding headphones. As far as durability and workmanship, they are worthless.
